1. Functions of silicone glue
(1) The main function of silicone glue is to closely connect the bonded materials. The components bonded together by glue are more fastened than the mechanical components, with high strength, low cost and light weight. If thin articles are bonded to thick wall products, the full strength of thin articles can also be fully exerted.
(2) The components bonded with silica gel glue are smooth and lubricated in appearance, and their functional characteristics do not decline. For example, the use of adhesives for aerospace assembly eliminates negative loads, increases the payload, improves the voyage, and reduces the freight.
2. Use of silicone glue
Silicone glue can be used for bonding various materials such as metal, plastic, rubber, ceramics, glass, paper, fiber, etc. When the joint with different materials is at variable temperature, the adhesive can play its unique role. For example, flexible adhesive can adjust the difference of thermal expansion characteristics of the bonded objects, sealing bonding can prevent the entry of damaging liquid and gas, and the repair of casting defects can also use safe and reliable adhesive bonding method, which saves both labor and money.
3. Definition of bonding skills
Bonding skill is a method to firmly connect the same or different materials together by virtue of the bonding force produced by the adhesive on the solid surface. There are mainly two kinds of bonding skills: non structural and structural.
Non structural bonding mainly refers to surface bonding, sealing and functional bonding, mainly including adhesive, sealant and conductive silicone glue for surface bonding. Structural bonding is the bonding phenomenon of firmly fixing structural units together with adhesives. The adhesives used in the structural bonding affect the integrity of its structure and its applicability to the environment within the design scope.
